I am curious. I often hear men say things like “the time was right” when asked why they got married.
Do you boys actually want to get married to your lovely ladies, or are you just doing it to please them? Would you be happy to stay unmarried if there was no societal pressure?
I am fairly certain that if the idea of marriage didn't exist, I would not spontaneously invent it.
I don't know how true that is or if it applies to the majority, but I've read opinions that many men get married when they feel "it's the time" for whatever personal reason and just marry whomever is or comes along at that time.
I've heard this a number of times and it is always from women who cannot stir up what motivates a man to get married. They then blame their "timing" when 6 months later, he is engaged.
Most men must wait until they are in a reasonable position (financially, education finished and decent job) to get married and by then, the women who will do the stirring are few and far between.
At one time, societal pressure got many to "just marry whomever is or comes along at that time" but those days have ended - probably at least 25 years ago. When nearly a third of men now reach 35 without getting married, this is obviously true.

Its good you have this kind of introspection and know this about yourself. It may change as you get older but if not, enjoy your life living in responsible singleness and fulfillment.
I do after I graduate from medical school... so about 8 years from now when I'm 28+.
